Dual-Band radios

[romanrodichev@iementor.com]

Not sure if it's new in WLC 7.4 code, but I now see "Dual-band radio" section everywhere in addition to "802.11a/n" and "802.11b/g/n". My dual band APs (for example 2600's) show up under both 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n as in the past. So what is this new category "dual-band radio" for then?

That category is the for 802.11ac optional module for the AP3600.

[Scott Fella]

It's for any of the 3 modules for the 3602's.
